Autumn Glory

Fished Straits yesterday evening, the carp were rolling out in the middle but I managed to bag a "Two Tone" 19lb Common from the tree margin. I was lucky to land him after my line became snagged with some snagged line! Neil was dead baiting and managed a Jack Pike and was also getting plenty off action from the sneaky greedy eels. The temperate then dropped rapidly and the unhooking mat even began icing up.

Eleven o'clock

15.4lb

Meet to far away!

15.10lb The little Orange

Another big double

Went fishing in the birdcage yesterday evening, had a few feeding close in but it was a bait fished in the silt that produced a run that resulted in a cut off on a mystery snag but after retackling this old mirror of 19lb 4oz turned up. Graham was next door in the Alex swim and had a 4lb bream, apart from that we didn't get any more.

Stumpy common

Fished the birdcage swim this evening and had this short bodied 18lb common that fought for 20 minutes! Missed a run too, saw a huge mirror early on that looked about mid twenties.
